They look great in these photos but I credit that to my photo skills, and also my nice camera...haha. They really were filthy and now that they've been bathed and eating well they are looking much better. It saddens me so much that someone could have such BEAUTIFUL dogs and could care so little about them.

Boss:

Ollie:

Not sure what to do with toys:

This is where he spent most of the afternoon:

Gorgeous boy:

This is two other dogs I've recently met... My friend's parents live out in the country and these are their 'country dogs' as they call them. I wanted to take them away so badly. Although they obviously love their dogs, they are not well taken care of at all. They have had their shots, and she puts a monthly hartz flea and tick treatment on them, but I think that's the extent of it. They are covered in ticks, have no collars, and aren't confined to a fence. The white one was their other son's and he couldn't take care of him so they took him, and the black one just showed up at the house. They were also soooooo sweet.

Ollie and Boss have an appointment next Thursday for their shots and neuter. Luckily we have a low income clinic and altogether it will only be around $100.

Anyway, now you guys have seen them!

Nope, no one has been looking for them. Or at least they haven't posted signs, called AC or been on craig's list if they are. My mom's neighborhood sits right next to a pretty rough neighborhood. I'm pretty confident that's where they came from, and I feel like the way they were cared for shows the people will probably just go get more dogs to replace them.

They're getting much more accustomed to being with people. They don't cower to us anymore, but do to people who aren't me or Tanner. Ollie is coming out of his shell more than Boss. I think Boss has a lot more trust issues--presumably because he is older, (we think).

Both of them look pretty Bulldog to me. I thought American Bulldog as soon as I saw them.They are good looking boys.

I thought that at first about Ollie, but they are both pretty short. Very heavy, but not as tall as all the American Bulldogs I've seen.

I'm thinking that perhaps and obviously it's just speculation, but Boss could maybe be Ollie's dad...? I'm thinking he is so bulldogish and Ollie isn't quite as much, that they bred a pit bull to Boss to get big wide dogs like Ollie. I can just picture a BYB thinking they wanted to keep the all white puppy of the litter...for future studding purposes. Haha, then again, that is just speculation.

I think, if all goes well, we want to keep Ollie. Two couples we are friends with have expressed interest in Boss, but at this point I'm not going to say that we aren't keeping them, or that we are. It will be so freaking hard to get rid of them, even after just the two weeks they've spent with us, but I can't help being terrified of having four dogs!
